Street Chalk
1 cup plaster of paris (do not pack)
almost 1/2 cup cool water

Pour plaster into a disposable container (margarine container
or paper cup).  Using a disposable stirring stick, stir in most
of the water.  Add 2-3 tablespoons of liquid tempra, mixing well,
especially at the bottom.  Add a little more water as mixture
thickens.  Stir well and pour into containers.  Three ounce 
Dixie cups work great.  Peel paper off when chalk is dry.


Butter
Place 1/2 pint whipping cream in a pint jar.  Let your child
shake the jar until the cream thickens.  Children love watching
it turn into butter.  Pour off excess liquid and rinse with cold
water.  Sprinkle with salt and blend in the salt with a spoon.
Use as a spread on breads and crackers.
